  1. Hi.

    Going to attempt to free up both my rear calipers before its mot next month. just thought id check what size spanners i would need and if i need a star or torque socket to undo the cradle ?
    i have the rewound tool.
    Or am i wasting my time on these and best fit a new set. it seems a common fault with these. my fault for not using it much..
     
  2. 13mm and 15mm spanners. Simple as that. I couldn't free mine off and ended up during out for a new pair
     
  3. cheers for that fella. thought id have a bash first before i have to do the dreaded. where did you get your replacement calipers from ?
     
  4. Just a local motor factors. Think I paid £70 each or something like that.
     
  5. Ive just replaced the pads on mine, the caliper was attached with 2 x18mm bolts.

  7. I definitely used an 18mm spanner on mine, and it fitted!
